I will try to do that, thanks! But, I don't think the file is at issue here. This is a different file than the original one I was talking about here with the dual HEVC video files. I found one that APPEARS just to be a simple UHD/HDR single file and CleverFFmpeg seemed to load it just fine, but:

1) I got the prompt that the file did not have any 'Meta data' for HDR, so I don't know if that means it is not encoded with that or what.

2) Primarily, since your interface was truncating all the prompts where I am supposed to select the options that I show clearly in the pictures in my above post, I could not continue to use it. (Personally, as far as the functionality of your program, I think that is more important so that one can actually select those options and not be frozen at that point where you cannot continue with the program)

I'm thinking perhaps of loading the previous instance of your program because the interface thing changed right after downloading your new stable version.

But yes, as per (1) it would be good to know why the program said there was not any 'HDR Meta data' and what that means. I just processed it thankfully through Handbrake (although I prefer the results of your program quite a bit more) and it processed just fine and I THINK looks alright. I used the BT709 filter.

I took some snippets directly from this 61 Gig UHD/HDR file and I'm uploading it to my Google Pictures folder, it's going to take about 14 minutes and then I'll try to post a link to it here. I've not done that before with GP's, and my site is currently down due to having to do something with my hosting, so hopefully this will work. I tried to choose the smallest snippet (around 245 Megs as opposed to 350 Megs)

It WOULD be a very good thing to know though that if I do get that prompt as I have shown the picture above, do I then still try to do an HDR-SDR conversion, or do I just skip that part? WHAT do I do when I see this prompt...?

Okay, here you go... I hope it works.

I think you can choose 'download' from the 3 dots on the upper right.

Okay... Well one thing I did find out was that, yes, the problem with 'Scaling' or whatever you'd call it to be able to see the full option windows has to do with your new version. It DOES show with your older version, so just the new version does that. So, using the 2nd to last version I was at least able to see the full option windows and select the options. I still got the prompt that the HDR/HLG metadata was missing, so I tried to do the encode straight with no HDR conversion, but the resulting file reading it with MediaInfo still showed the colorspace to be 2020 and it showed Dolby Vision. So, I'm running it again with the HDR conversion to see what the difference is.

***EDIT

I think with this new UHD file (whether it is HDR or not) at least seems to be encoding through CleverFFmpeg okay. I'm trying one snippet with HDR conversion and one snippet without in order to compare them.

So, at least if this works, then with your older version I can at least run the program and choose the options. AND, if the new UHD file is indeed 'Okay', then that will pretty much solve what I need to do.

The ONLY thing again, and I'm sorry to keep mentioning it, but if I do get that prompt with the 'HDR/HLG metadata missing' do I just then assume I DON'T need to use the HDR conversion? The MediaInfo still says that it has Dolby Vision, so I don't know how that impacts it. But, at least in doing these two encodes, one with and one without the HDR conversion, perhaps I can get an idea as to which one looks 'right'...

***EDIT 2

Yep... in comparing the two encodes, the one where I did the HDR conversion looks a LOT brighter and probably the way it should be, so I'm trying to do the whole film that way now. I guess that MIGHT answer my pesky question then, that I DO indeed have to use the HDR conversion even though I get that prompt. HOPEFULLY, if nothing goes wrong now with the file, and the encode finishes, I should have a nice 1080 print which I bet will look a LOT better than the one I did with Handbrake...

Lathe · 8th September 2024, 08:17

... and then I get this...

I SWEAR I am so damn F****d with this! Nothing F'n works! I F***'n give up man, GEEZ...!

Handbrake did it just fine, although I don't think it looks as good. Well, since for whatever the hell reason, I sure can't use your program anymore which SUX!

This video was recoded from an HDR10 source, no longer has HDR metadata, but the HDR10 colorspace, transfer matrix info was incorrectly retained.
If the colors are correct, you can simply re-encode it as you wish. If the colors are pale and lack contrast, re-encode it with tone mapping (HDR to SDR).

As for the missing buttons, that's a high DPI scaling problem that I still need to fix.

Newest beta (v3.3.0.02), online now.

Added:
mpeg2_qsv (for Intel GPU's), h264_nvenc and hevc_nvenc (for nVidia GPU's) hardware accelerated encoders.

Fixed:
Muxing hevc to mp4 gave wrong FPS values.
Encoding HDR to BT709 without tonemapping error (thx to javieracdc for the hint).
App vanishing when minimized.

Improved:
Application stability.

Changed:
